Does anyone know how this compares to the Ideapad Slim 7 Carbon ? The RDNA2 based 680M iGPU on the 6800U should blow the 5800U on the carbon away, although the carbon has the higher 90hz refresh OLED screen and is 14inch vs 13.3. Similar weight, at ~2.4lbs. Asus vs Lenovo reliability. I picked up the carbon at 780, so course there's a huge ~500 price difference too. Speakers are great on the carbon, although the RealTek Wifi has been real iffy on it.

Thoughts ? Worth the 500 dollar price difference over the mainly increased iGPU performance ?

Unless you are doing tasks which are GPU dependent, performance wise, $500 is a bit higher to get it. let me summarize the comparison and based in that you can decide.
  • CPU performance may be actually better in Slim 7 Carbon because although this model has 6800U which has slightly higher performance against 5800U when used in same TDP, this laptop is a very slim and thin laptop and max it can go is 25W whereas Carbon will be happy to push the CPU to 30W+ in high performance mode.
  • GPU performance is minimum 1.7X higher than AMD Vega 8 when used in same TDP. Apart from that, RDNA 3 has better tuning for Adobe Photo and video editing suites than VEGA iGP, resulting better Photo and video editing performance.
  • One of the biggest advantages this ZenBook has is the support for USB4 which enables it to use tons of Thunderbolt compatible accessories including external GPU docks.
So, if your use cases need those features like TB3 compatible device supports, Video editing etc., then you may consider this one. However, I would ask you to wait a bit and I have news that Asus ZenBook Flip 14 2-in-1 2022 edition with 2.8K 90Hz OLED and 6800H will be available soon in USA and it will be slightly cheaper as well.

Probably the ultrabook to get at this point. Very efficient CPU and great screen. I wish it came with 32GB RAM considering its a high end laptop at $1300 and its not upgradable. Still a great deal.

This is awesome analysis, tx vm! Your right, the 500 price difference is hard to accept when its not wins all across the board like in the Cpu TDP department. My S13 from BB is slated to arrive tomorrow so I'll see how I like it vs the Carbon and return if its not justifying the huge price gap. There's things like the speakers, keyboard, and wifi latency which I'll need to do a deep dive and test/compare so on paper hard to make a call now.

The one thing in favor of the S13 is I do like to do some light gaming/emulation and the Carbon just doesn't cut it with the iGpu thats weaker than Intel Xe. But everything else aside from the shitty WiFi is an absolute dream on the Carbon. Do we know if the Carbon will be refreshed for 2022 with 6000 series btw ?

The Flip 14 2022 with 6800H looks very tempting. 90hz refresh + bigger 14 inch. It will be slightly heavier though at 3.09 lbs and I guess theres the larger bottom bezel. Do you know when it will be available for sale or any links to it aside from the asus spec page ?

Don't know much about laptops but thinking of switching to one full time. Can you use an eGPU with this or does that only work for Intel systems with TB port?

Add me to the list of people interested in learning whether this will be released (US) soon. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, the specs look great.

Wow, it's finally available. I was eyeing this laptop but ended up buying a Lenovo Z13 for cheaper because I couldn't find any stock for the Asus a few months ago. The 6800U series is incredibly fast, and runs much cooler than Alder Lake.
